Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide method and devices for repairing computer files that impair network communications. In this regard, one embodiment of such a method, among others, can be broadly summarized by the following steps: extracting information corresponding to settings for network communications from a local resource file, wherein the local resource file is embedded within an application executed by a computer for repairing the files impairing network communication on the computer; and replacing information within a registry of the computer with at least a portion of the extracted information, wherein the replaced information includes settings pertaining to facilitation of network communications on the computer. Other methods and devices are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a cuvette apparatus having two cavities that are in fluid communication with each other. The first cavity is larger than the second cavity an receives a fluid to be studied. The second cavity holds the fluid for analysis and is bounded by at least two thin walled windows that allow superior transmission of UV waves.

Abstract: A door check (10) check including an arm (12), the arm (12) including an arm mount (22) provided at one end thereof for mounting the arm (12) to one of a vehicle door or vehicle frame. The arm (12) also includes a generally longitudinally extending first surface (28) and an oppositely disposed longitudinally extending second surface (30). The door check (10) further includes an arm guide (16). The arm guide (16) includes a housing (42), the housing (42) including a guide mount (56), (58) for mounting the housing (42) to the other of the vehicle door or vehicle frame, and a guideway (14) for receiving the arm (12) therein. The arm guide (16) also includes first and second generally facing arm engaging structures (64), (66) & (72) mounted to or within the housing (42) for receiving the arm (12) therebetween. The first arm engaging structure (64), (66) is mounted to the housing (42) and faces the first arm surface (28). The second arm engaging structure (72) faces the second arm surface (30).

Abstract: The method involves filling a well containing a contact lens with aqueous solution. Multiple injection nozzles inject streams of the aqueous solution into the well. The multiple injection nozzles are arranged to prevent non-centering of the contact lens in the well.

Abstract: A preprocessed semiconductor substrate such as a wafer is provided with a metal etch mask which defines singulation channels on the substrate surface. An isotropic etch process is used to define a singulation channel with a first depth extending into the semiconductor substrate material. A second anisotropic etch process is used to increase the depth of the singulation channel while providing substantially vertical singulation channel sidewalls. The singulation channel can be extended through the depth of the substrate or, in an alternative embodiment, a predetermined portion of the inactive surface of the substrate removed to expose the singulation channels. In this manner, semiconductor die can be precisely singulated from a wafer while maintaining vertical die sidewalls.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for the inspection of an object. A linear array of cameras are located in a stationery position with the object moved over them. An image processor first applies calibration and perspective alterations to the consecutive frames of the cameras, then mosaics the frames together to form a single mosaiced image of the object. An undervehicle car inspection system is described which provides a single image of the entire underside of the vehicle, to scale.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for presenting a highly spatially accurate visualisation of a scene from which measurements can be taken. A sensor is located in relation to a camera, and provides positional characteristics of the camera as it collects frames of video images. Using the positional characteristics the frames are corrected. The corrected frames are then synchronised to form an accurate mosaic of a scene. Example embodiments are described where the moving camera is used to survey or inspect underwater apparatus, roads, runways, railways, crime or accident scenes, archaeological digs and the inside of boilers, chimneys and pipelines.
